Rail services between Reading and London Paddington changed as hot weather continues

Great Western Railway has announced there will be some alterations to its services in and out of London on Wednesday afternoon because of high track temperatures.

Although speed restrictions will not be as severe as Tuesday , rail passengers are being warned of changes to some trains.

Restrictions will be in place on crossing between lines over points between 2.30pm and 6.30pm on Wednesday, July 20 between London Paddington and Reading .

This is to prevent damage to the lines and as a result, branch lines between Paddington and Reading will not have direct services to or from the capital.

Evening peak ticket restrictions will remain in place, although where a GWR off-peak service has been cancelled - with no alternative service in place - passengers can use their tickets to board the next available peak train service.
